Announcing the EduTOX Video Challenge, a national video contest for youth aged 14 to 22!
EduTOX is about giving young people a voice to promote awareness and action on environmental health. We are looking for creative and compelling short videos that will get people thinking about and taking action on the toxins that we all encounter in our day-to-day lives.
Videos can be submitted by individual or by group, and in any language (with English or French subtitles). There will be 8 winners, who will receive generous scholarships or merchandise. The deadline to participate is March 21st, and the winners will be announced in May. For more information, go to www.edutox.ca or contact the project coordinator at info@edutox.ca.
